I would be happy to offer you a quote for such a service, but otherwise the 
answer is no.

We do release-cycle breaking patch releases only when there are "annoying 
regressions" or serious security issues. This is neither (according to the 
team that makes the decisions).

Further, the PR we discuss is not merged yet.

We already do curl releases as frequent as we do to make sure that no one has 
to wait long for the next release. It is also easy for anyone to just patch 
their own build or use a daily snapshot, should they want to test drive 
changes before the pending release.
